Through a strange and what some would consider a “God set of circumstances”, Todd met a senior editor who invited him to do a project with New Leaf Press out of California. As a result, Todd wrote a devotional based on the songs from his first album, Common Bond. This project contains writings by Todd personally about each of the ten songs on this recording project, followed by 10 life stories either written by each person or through interviews with people whose life story mirrors the theme of each song.
This is a book filled with stories of how Christian people encountered difficulty, tragedy, and trial, and desired to honor God with their responses. The devotional comes with 10 real-life-stories and a CD of Todd’s recording, Common Bond.
